The 'free' ribosomes are for local use within the cell, whereas the ribosomes attached to the ER are transported to other parts of the cell or transported away from the cell.

Ribosomes in the cytosol synthesize proteins for immediate use within the cell, while ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesize proteins that are destined for secretion or insertion into the cell membrane. The presence of ribosomes on the ER allows for co-translational protein processing and modification.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes on its surface, giving it a rough appearance. It is involved in protein synthesis. Smooth ER, on the other hand, lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes in the cell.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a bumpy appearance, and is responsible for protein synthesis and processing. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and storage of calcium ions.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes on its surface, while the smooth ER does not. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lacks ribosomes on its surface and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification of drugs. Rough ER, on the other hand, has ribosomes on its surface, involved in protein synthesis and processing.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lacks ribosomes on its surface and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface, which are involved in protein synthesis and modification. Both types of ER are interconnected and play important roles in cellular metabolism.
